The court convicted Paswan on charges that he allured a 17-year-old girl by promising to marry her and took her with him September last year. He kept her at different places but did not marry her. The victim's father complained to police that she was missing.

Paswan claimed that the girl went willingly with him. However, she said that she was taken away forcibly.

The court of judge Bhinder had last week announced its decision on another rape case in just three days.
